Another Haul: Narrative Stewardship and Cultural Sustainability at the Lewis Family Fishery | Charlie Groth
12 posts | 1 to read
Lewis Island in Lambertville, New Jersey, is the site of the Lewis Fishery, the last haul seine American shad fishery on the nontidal Delaware River. The Lewis family has fished in the same spot since 1888 and operated the fishery through five generations. The extended Lewis family, its fishery's crew, and the Lambertville community connect with people throughout the region, including environmentalists concerned about the river. It was a Lewis who raised the alarm and helped resurrect a polluted river and its biosphere. While this once exclusively masculine activity is central to the tiny island, today men, women, and children fish, living out a sense of place, belonging, and sustainability. In Another Haul: Narrative Stewardship and Cultural Sustainability at the Lewis Family Fishery, author Charlie Groth highlights the traditional, vernacular, and everyday cultural expressions of the family and crew to understand how community, culture, and the environment intersect. Groth argues there is a system of narrative here that combines verbal activities and everyday activities. On the basis of over two decades of participation and observation, interviews, surveys, and a wide variety of published sources, Groth identifies a phenomenon she calls "narrative stewardship." This narrative system, emphasizing place, community, and commitment, in turn, encourages environmental and cultural stewardship, tradition, and community. Intricate and embedded, the system appears invisible, but careful study unpacks and untangles how people, often unconsciously, foster sustainability. Though an ethnography of an occupation, the volume encourages readers to consider what arises as special about all cultures and what needs to be seen and preserved.

$6 for these beauties. Building an area in my office with books kids can take home and keep after our session for the little book lovers. Library sales are a favorite place to look for books 📚 A few of the adult books looked lonely so I saved them too.

Almost every year I go to a local book sale with my friends on half price Sunday. We get up early to wait in line, shop till we fill our baskets, and then get lunch. The best part is all of the money goes to charity!
This year I got 31 books for $55 (2 gifts and 2 magazine style books not shown)! 💙📚🦉
The left side is books by favorite authors and from my wishlist. The right side is impulse purchases - oops!
Now where to put them…

Leftcoastzen @PaperbackPirate yes , I was there! Both days . I‘ve been going since I was 8, when I moved away, couldn‘t really come back for it. When I moved back, it was on the top of my list of things to do! (edited) 9mo
PaperbackPirate There were so many old school Dean Koontz books that I had to limit myself @Branwen ! 9mo
PaperbackPirate Omg wow what an amazing tradition @Leftcoastzen ! I‘ve never been on a Saturday. Is it a different vibe? 9mo
Leftcoastzen @PaperbackPirate extremely competitive & packed on Saturday. They do take a count of people going in & stop the line. 9mo
PaperbackPirate I don‘t think I‘m tough enough for Saturday then @Leftcoastzen ! 😂 9mo
Leftcoastzen Sunday is more pleasant. I have had great conversations with people in line on Saturday mornings! I make friends so they will hold my spot when I need to put my chair back in the car or run to the restroom! 9mo

Some of these are rescues from what I call library purgatory 😂 (books that never get finished because they are due before I finish them). I also found the North American edition of This Is Going to Hurt which I think I will read while I wait for Undoctored to be available here in the states. #bookhaul #libraryhaul

monalyisha I love Guess What! So much fun checking out all the pins. 🧷 2y

Visited the local Friends of the Library sale - the first one since 2019! I got a few boxes of stock for the store but this was my haul. I couldn't resist the matching Melville set (Omoo will be my white whale), the Hornby is a gift edition I've wanted for years, the Bronte and Waugh are both in OOP editions I collect, Gift of Fear and Embroiders are plain ol' TBR. Why Read Moby Dick, I just couldn't leave behind once I'd decided on the Melville.

Literary_Siren Yep! I still have to read The Hazel Wood but I was waiting for the second book. Do you know if there will be a third? If the series is as good as everyone is saying I‘ll hold off starting it if there will be more. 5y

My friend gave me a gift card for my birthday and I decided to order few books that have been on my TBR forever. I will probably take these babies with me on my next summer holiday. 😝😎
